Title: Improvements in Hub Contained Variable Speed Gears for Cycles.
Inventor: GUILFORD PERCY GEORGE
IPC: B62M11/14
Filed: 1913-02-18
Granted: 1913-12-04
Abstract: 4143. Guilford, P. G. Feb. 18. [Cognate Application, 7392/13.] Variable-speed epicyclic gearing for cycles, motor-cycles, &c., providing a direct drive and three lower-speeds, is characterized by the production of the second of the lower speeds by clutching the sun-pinion of the first train to the carrier of the second train when the sunpinion of this train is held stationary, the said carrier constituting the final driven member of the gear. The sun-pinions may each be mounted on the axle, or the pinion B<1> may be mounted on a sleeve of the pinion B, the sleeve being provided with means whereby it may be locked to the axle. The pinion B has a toothed flange f<1> for engaging with clutch teeth upon the carrier A<1> and, as shown, with teeth upon the carrier A; the flange may, however, be arranged to engage with either of two sets of teeth on the carrier A'. For the direct drive, the sunpinion B may be locked to the driving-member d<1>, or, as shown in Fig. 2, to the carrier A, this pinion B being also locked to the carrier A<1>, or, as shown, the second pinion B' being thus locked. For the first lower speed, the one or the other of the sun-pinions is locked to the axle, as by the engagement of teeth f<6> with teeth k<1>; for the second lower speed the first pinion B is clutched by teeth f<2>, g<3> to the second carrier, the second pinion B<1> being locked to the axle, and for the lowest speed both sunpinions are locked to the axle. Instead of using clutch teeth, the anchored member n<1> may carry pins adapted to engage holes in first the one pinion B<1> for the second and third speeds, and then both the sun-pinions for the fourth speed, the driving-member d<1> being provided with similar pins for engaging with the holes of the first sun-pinion B for direct line drive.

Abstract: 7595. Crocker, S. H. March 31. Post files; flexible-band and like files; fastenings.-In a file for binding papers of the kind in which the file-spikes consist of linked chains, each file-spike comprises a number of looped and pivoted links which are constructed so that each link tends to compress the adjacent link so as frictionally to oppose any pivotal movement in the spike.

Granted: 1915-05-27
Abstract: 13,147. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. May 28. Systems for continuous-current motors only.-In a series-parallel system for four motors, the motors are connected in series-parallel after a pair have been short-circuited, and one of each pair is then shunted by a resistance before the parallel connexion is made. The control circuits and the contactors with their interlocks are shown in Fig. 9. In the first position of the master controller, the contactors a, c, g close to connect the motors and starting-resistance R in series. In positions 2, 3, 4, the resistance R is short-circuited, the motor A is short-circuited, and then the pair of motors A, B is short-circuited. In the fifth position, the contactor g opens, and the contactor f connects the motor B to earth, thus completing the series-parallel connexion. During these changes, the current remains in the same direction through each motor. In position 6, the motors A, C are each shunted by the resistance R as shown in Fig. 6. In the next position, the resistance R is cut out, and the high resistance R<1> is connected in series with the parallel motor pair A, C, to enable a small current to flow to reverse the magnetism of the motors. This is the only position in which this connexion is possible, as the interlocks 9, 10 cannot close together iu any other position. In the last position, the four motors are connected in parallel between the trolly and earth as shown in Fig. 8.

Abstract: 16,012. White, G. July 19, 1913, [Convention date]. Feeding sheets and flat articles; sheet carriers and forwarders.-Comprises conveying- mechanism, more especially for carrying chocolates away from candy coating machines, in which sheets or like carriers sliding down guides are seized one at a time by hooks on conveyer chains and carried to the upper run of the chains which travel over a table. Two chains 28, one at each side of the machine, pass over sprockets 23 ... 27. Carriers consisting of bars 36 extending through loops 37 in paper sheets are slid down guides 34 and held by spring hooks 39. As the chains travel, pins on the chains engage little levers 50 passed through guided rods 48 pointed at the bottom. The rods descend and separate the end carrier which is then seized by hooks 47 on the chains and dragged over a scraper and along a board 46 and upward to the top run. A portion 60 of the table next the 'coating machine is made slidable and is normally caused to abut against a spring presser 69 next the coating machine. As the carriers travel upward, pins on the chain engage bell-cranks and cause the movable portion of the table to move backward to allow the bars to pass, this portion being quickly returned and the sheet is pressed against its edge by the presser. The sheets slightly overlap one another on the table and present a continuous surface for the reception of chocolates. The sheets are removed by hand.

Abstract: 10,605. Nelson, H. R. Aug. 17, 1914, [Convention date]. Alkalies, alkaline earths, and other non- metallic substances, obtaining; cells; diaphragms; electrodes; electrolytes, circulating.- In the electrolysis of a solution of a compound, such as a salt of an alkali or alkaline-earth metal, the cathion is treated with a vapour, such as steam, which is in dry condition, and the reaction product is transferred in small separate quantities to a collector separate, and preferably electrically disconnected, from the oathode. This collector may be a pan 22 mounted on insulated pivots 23 and discharged at intervals into a larger trough 24 provided with an outlet pipe. Access of condensation liquid to the cathode 6 is prevented by providing a steam-trap 31, and by arranging on each side of the cathode a permeable screen 17, which also arrests scattered alkali. Water condensed on the outer wall escapes by separate pipes outside the trough 24. The steam is preferably at low pressure, so as to produce a faint cloud within the cathode chamber; it may be circulated by a pump; it is stated to form an electrically-insulating covering for the cathode. Hydrogen escapes by pipes, preferably on both sides of the anode cell. The cathode 6 of perforated sheet or netting and a contiguous asbestos diaphragm 5 may be of U-section and may be secured at their upper edges by Portland cement and by riveting to long L-section girders 3. An inverted slate or other insulating trough 8 supports a row of anodes 7 within the diaphragm. At the bottom of the anode cell are one or more curved strips 21 of asbestos or other material to facilitate removal of sediment. The alkaline liquid obtained may be evaporated to remove salt, which is used again. The brine used may be nearly saturated.

Abstract: 17,041. Jagenberg, F. E., [Firm of]. July 17, [Convention date]. Packeting cigarettes in receptacles.-Consists of a machine for enclosing cigarettes in an inner cover of stiff paper and inserting the cigarettes and the cover in an outer case. A sheet of paper 1, Figs. 2 and 8, is brought by fingers 2 under a former 3, Fig. 1, around which it is bent by the relatively movable parts 4<b>, 4<c> of the upwardly-moving member 4 so as to leave upstanding edges, which are pressed down on to the top by the swinging arms 6, Fig. 5. The cigarettes in the hopper 12 are grouped between vertical plates 13 oscillating in succession, and pass down the shoot 11 to a cut-off plate 16. Two fingers 7 moving through slots 8 in the former push the cover, which is held down by the arms 6, over the cigarettes on a plate 10, which lies flush with the lower part of the cover and has its edge in contact therewith. The plate is carried on the same part as the fingers 7, so that the cover and plate move simultaneously. A pusher 19 then transfers the inner cover through a funnel 21 into an outer case 17 in one of the pockets of a wheel 25, a weighted spring arm 27 on the pusher pressing the cover and case together. The outer cases are set up from the collapsed form by a pusher 20 with a spring-pressed pivoted nose 22, and inserted in the wheel by a perpendicularly-acting pusher. The pusher 29 removes the filled case.
